I don't own a gun either Lai and sadly Nero doesn't look very scary Very Happy

but I would surely stand there and make a nuiscance of myself and make a lot of noise and throw lots of stones around to confuse the shooters, I couldn't just let it happen.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm I am contemplating what happens next, I might contact the Badger Trust and see what if anything we can do, apart from petitions and letters to MP's etc etc.

**littlewid** Sat Jul 14, 2012 9:19 pm

Good move Lai and as I said I ill try and contact them as well. Writing to MP's never seems t work and petitions are greatand do help but there must be something more we can do.

Thank you for that Lai. I am so pleased they have taken the decision to appeal, it is the right way to go.

I have not had time to contact the Badger Trust so far this week but I will do.

Thats good news. I still cant understand how they can ignore the scientific evidence, that culls are not the long term answer to TB, and spreads the area of TB contamination.

Good on the Badger Trust for standing their ground cheers

**littlewid** Tue Aug 21, 2012 9:26 pm

Doogs, well done to The Badger Trust for standing it's ground, it is a relief to know they wont be (was going to say Badgered Embarassed

) heckled into quitting their appeal. They really do need to stand firm on this.

Thanks for the link Lai, that has made me smile this evening as it's more determined support for the Badger.

**whitestarling** Tue Aug 21, 2012 10:27 pm

I'm glad they are still going to appeal. I'm not sure how they can call themselves a Welfare Association when they are clearly not interested in Bagers Welfare, it shows from the comment if the culls fail so be it. No compasion for the Badgers that have been needlesly killed. Thanks for the link Lai.

Thanks Lai signed the 38% deg petition, and sent aletter to my MP.
WS

**Laikipia** Wed Aug 29, 2012 7:39 pm

WS - there seem to be quite a few petitions so it gets confusing but in my mind if we sign them all we are doing our best.

Lai cheers

**littlewid** Thu Aug 30, 2012 10:28 pm

Thanks Lai, signed the petition, shared on FB and donated. Fingers crossed more sign and share and give if they can.

**whitestarling** Sat Sep 01, 2012 6:13 pm

Thanks Lai, it would be interesting to know what the other candidates for Police Commissioner views are on the Badger Cull.
Hmmm not sure about the Barf page, seems a bit radical, although I know we need strong action on this issue.
WS

**littlewid** Sun Sep 02, 2012 3:29 pm

I agree WS, it would be nice to know what the other candidates views on Badger Cullling are.

I tried opening the other link twice but it wouldn't display anything apart from some headings scratch

will try that one again later Lai.

**Laikipia** Sun Sep 02, 2012 5:13 pm

WS - I thought that, but I was googling as I read on Twitter that someone had signed a declaration refusing entry to their land for badger culling and I was trying to find more info on it.

I like to share all links but I confess I am not an anarchist!

Badger Trust to Appeal against Cull Decision, date set for 11th September

**whitestarling** Mon Sep 03, 2012 12:36 am

I did'nt think for one second you were Lai. Interesting that someone has signed a declaration to block access, I wonder what the legal position would be on that if heaven forbid the cull goes ahead.
Lets hope the appeal is granted. I still dont know how DEFRA can defend thier position on the cull, when thier own evidence is against them
WS

**Laikipia** Mon Sep 03, 2012 1:50 pm

WS - we shall just have to wait and see.

Lai

**littlewid** Mon Sep 03, 2012 8:44 pm

At least we now have a date for the appeal. I am going to be keeping my fingers crossed for next Tuesday that the appeal is granted.

**Laikipia** Wed Sep 12, 2012 9:42 am

Not sure if I posted this one before - sorry, so many to sign but determined to try and save our badgers.
